Nugget is the cutest miniature Schnauzer-Yorkie mix
with the personality to match!
She was rescued by Frances, my BFF's daughter.
Nugget is almost completely blind but you wouldn't even know it.
She sure steals your heart the minute you meet her!

Frances captured this precious, awesome photo of Nugg (her nickname)
basking in the sun with her little eyes closed.
Look at the TOTAL BLISS on her sweet face!
I found out that she has mostly neutral tones
because she likes to add pops of color as accents. (very smart!)
She specifically mentioned teal.
So using her color scheme, this is what I came up with.
Well, it's hard to match blue-teal unless you have it right in front of you.
But a precious little girl does deserve some pink & yellow too!

The beginning of the creation process was to find the right paper, of course.
First I stenciled the main page with Prima's Royal Managerie Decor #1.
It has the perfect 'dreamy' look. Doesn't little Nugget seem to be day dreaming?
I did only a few areas because I wanted it to look like her little thoughts floating from her mind.

The Showered with Love Border is just gorgeous!
I sparingly brushed it with dry (non-diluted) white gesso in random areas;
then lightly sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst color Sassy Sapphire.
YES!
To this beautiful piece, I added some ceramic white flowers with baby pink centers.
For a pretty and dainty background for Nugget's photo,
I chose Cheery Lynn (now Maker's Movement) dies -
Horizon Square and Horizon French Flair.
The photo is placed with a piece of thick cardboard underneath.
The die cut under the photo is raised with foam tape so it could fit over the top of the chipboard border.

Both dies are cut from the BFS Happy Accident2 paper & are edge inked in Creamy Brown chalk ink.
The other Creative Embellishments chipboard I used is the corner piece.
I decided to leave it raw and unfinished because it's the perfect brown color!
It serves as a 'base' for the flower arrangement and the layout title.
I colored The Dusty Attic's Teeny Tiny ABC letters to create the title.
First I primed them with white gesso;
then generously painted them with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst color Sassy Sapphire.
WOW!
How BEAUTIFUL!
For a final beautiful touch,
Reneabouquet's GORGEOUS butterflies were added!
These beauties were perfect because of the brown and teal coloring.
I altered them slightly to best suit my layout -
removed the turquoise rhinestone & changed the antennae to bronze.
Thank you so much for visiting and please come again sometime!
Have a great day!
